The Only AI Studio Covering All 5 Stages

Build it.
Run it.
No orphanware.

Every internal tool becomes orphanware when the person who built it leaves. orphan is the only AI studio that covers ideation, build, run, maintain, AND iterate—as one subscription. Your tools get owners, SLAs, and evergreen updates.

"Shadow AI becomes orphanware—business-critical, unmaintained, unauditable."

Every company has internal tools built by engineers who left. They're running on someone's old credentials. Nobody knows how they work. Upgrading the dependencies is too risky. They cost millions to rebuild, but they're mission-critical. The name "orphan" isn't clever—it's the problem we solve.

Our Methodology

Five operational stages. Three commercial motions.

Most AI studios stop at delivery. We're the only one that covers the entire lifecycle—from ideation to evergreen maintenance—as one subscription. Here's how we work:

1

Ideate

Workflow discovery, ROI sizing, risk classification. We audit your operations, map processes, and identify the tools worth building. Output: PRD, process map, success metrics, context sources.

Commercial motion: Projects (one-time engagement)

2

Build

Context-driven implementation, minimal UI, stack integration. AI-accelerated development that creates production-ready systems in weeks, not months. Output: running system, eval harness, monitoring hooks, runbook.

Commercial motion: Projects (one-time engagement)

3

Run

Monitoring, alerting, incident response, uptime targets. We operate your tools with SLAs. On-call coverage, user support, and availability metrics. Your tools have owners.

Commercial motion: Subscription (recurring revenue)

4

Maintain

Dependency upgrades, vulnerability patching, API drift fixes. The part everyone else skips. We keep your tools current, secure, and compatible. Output: monthly evergreen reports.

Commercial motion: Subscription (recurring revenue)

5

Iterate

New features, integrations, workflows, performance improvements. Prepaid capacity for continuous evolution. We implement roadmap increments as your business changes.

Commercial motion: Day pool (prepaid capacity)

Scope line: Run/Maintain = "Keep it working as designed, and keep it current." Iterate = "Change the design."

For Engineering Leaders

Security, operability, lifecycle ownership.

Your fear: "Shadow AI becomes orphanware—business-critical, unmaintained, unauditable." We solve that.

What you get with orphan

  • SSO/RBAC, audit logs: Security & governance baked in
  • Monitoring, on-call, runbooks: Operability from day one
  • Upgrades, dependency management: Lifecycle ownership
  • Deployed on YOUR stack: No vendor lock-in, no SaaS silo

"We build on your stack, operate with SLAs, and keep it evergreen. You get an internal app portfolio with owners, controls, and auditability."

For Business Leaders

Differentiation, not generic copilots.

Your fear: "We're paying for the same tools as everyone else and calling it innovation." We encode your unique business logic.

What you get with orphan

  • Custom workflows: Unique business logic becomes owned assets
  • Speed: Weeks to launch, not quarters
  • Quality & consistency: Production-grade from day one
  • Leverage: Do more with the same headcount

"We encode your unique business logic into systems from day one. Each workflow becomes an owned asset, not a one-off tool."

Impact

Of tools maintained, none orphaned

After Launch

What happens when you launch?

Most AI studios disappear after delivery. We're just getting started. Here's what ongoing partnership looks like:

  • Monthly health checks: We monitor performance, user adoption, and system health. You get reports, not alerts.
  • Quarterly upgrades: Dependencies stay current. Vulnerabilities get patched. API changes don't break your tools.
  • On-call coverage: Incidents happen. We respond. Your team sleeps.
  • Feature roadmap: Use your day pool capacity to add integrations, workflows, and improvements as your business evolves.

Run + Maintain is our differentiator. Every other AI studio treats launch as the finish line. We treat it as the starting line. Your tools don't become orphanware—they become assets with owners, SLAs, and evergreen updates.

Stop rebuilding.
Start maintaining.

Your internal tools deserve better than being abandoned. Let's talk about what orphan can do for your team.
